Notes
Solo long run in Charlevoix. With it being the winter, I couldn't do a lot of my summer routes. I ran out from Ferry Beach Park like usual to the bike path, but it had not be plowed at all. I decided to go out and back on Charleboyne road. Did 7 miles total on that road and then headed back to the park. For the most part I felt strong, but the last 1-1.5 miles was tough. The last stretch is just a mile long straightaway into the wind. I could tell too that I was starting to run on fumes by the end because I didn't eat much of a dinner last night. More of a mental grind than a physical, but got it done. If it was not for the snow on some of the sidewalks this would have averaged sub-6:30 pace as I ran a 84:27 half marathon in the middle of the run. Had my GPS watching going.
Switched to my new shoes as my old ones have rips on the sides of them and I was just getting afraid I would tear right out of them in a middle of a run.
